"Turkey hunting…?" Sasori asked in disbelief as he was pushed forward into the mall work van.

Deidara hopped i the van beside the redhead. "Yes, Danna. He said turkey hunting."

The redhead shook his head, "This is ridiculous. Why did we all have to go? Pein could've picked out a turkey himself."

Pein tsked and started the van, "You're ridiculous. You all are coming that way we have a better chance for getting turkeys. Plus, it's cheaper than buying several turkeys. Here we get a discount for how many people we bring."

"I think it'll be fun!" the blond grinned.

"Tobi doesn't want to hurt the birdies!" the raven, on the other side of Deidara, whined.

Kisame grinned and leaned over, "It's okey, Tobi. We aren't going to actually kill them. We're gonna use paintball guns. That way we can mark which ones is ours. It doesn't hurt."

Deidara snickered and Sasori elbowed him in the rib cage. "I don't want to hear his whining, so keep your mouth shut, brat."

The blond pouted and crossed his arms. "Danna is mean."

"Yup," Sasori smirked tugging on the blond's long hair.

"Is everyone buckled up?" Konan asked from the front seat.

Everyone gave a big "yes" and the van was off. The drive took around over four hours and by the time they reached the hunting grounds, everyone was bitching or asleep. The majority of the bitching came from the foul mouthed platinum blond.

"Fucking finally!" Hidan exclaimed. "Let's fucking hunt them bitches!"

"Be nice, Hidan!" Tobi frowned. "Tobi doesn't want the birdies hurt!"

Hidan smirked, "Oh, they won't feel shit after we cook them and ea-"

"Okeeey! Let's get started! To the lodge everyone," Pein grinned nervously. The last thing he wanted was trouble.

The group of ten all crammed inside the small lodge and were given their weapons. Paintball guns. The group was split into twos. Each pair was given a specific color. Sasori and Deidara were given yellow, Tobi and Zetsu were given orange, Kisame and Itachi were give blue, Kakuzu and Hidan were given purple, and Pein and Konan were given red. The game was to shoot the turkeys with the paint and the pair who tagged the best turkey got to take it home.

"Brat, you're rather sluggish today. Have you been getting sleep?" Sasori whispered as he crouched down.

Deidara shook his head, "I slept on the way here. It's been awhile since I've had some sleep."

Sasori frowned, "What have you been up to, brat?"

The blond shrugged and then nodded his gun at a turkey. "Whattya think?"

The redhead eyed and gave a nod.

Deidara grinned and shot the paint at the turkey. It hit its mark and the bird let out a gruesome squawk. "Un!" Deidara exclaimed quietly. He raised his hand up at Sasori for a high five.

Sasori rolled his eyes, but smiled and high fived the blond. "Good job, brat. Lets go get some more. I heard Kisame shot about five already. Let's try and beat his score."

The blond smirked, "Hell, we'll so beat him. Come on, Danna! Pein said something about a paid day off for the best turkey hunters."

-x-X-x-

After several hours of hunting, the group stood lined up waiting to see their scores. Kisame and Itachi: Seven turkeys. Kakuzu and Hidan: Eleven turkeys. Pein and Konan: Three turkeys. Zetsu and Tobi: None. Sasori and Deidara: Eight turkeys.

"Seems like Kakuzu and Hidan are getting that paid day off," Pein stated surprised.

"Fuck yeah!" Hidan laughed, punching a fist in the air.

"I'm just glad we got the turkey before Itachi, un," Deidara smirked proudly.

The raven humphed and crossed his arms. "That'll be the only thing you'll ever get before me."

"Tsch, not true."

"I got Sasori before you…" Itachi muttered lowly, so only Deidara heard him.

Deidara's eye twitched and he growled, "I'm going to pretend I didn't fucking hear you, un."

"Dei?" Sasori asked raising an eyebrow.

The blond frowned and crossed his arms. He really hated that Uchiha sometimes. That one person could just ruin his entire mood. He jumped slightly when an arm wrapped around him.

"Don't let him get to you. You should know better, brat," Sasori whispered into his ear.

Deidara sighed and leaned onto the redhead shoulder. At least he had Sasori now. He gave a small smile as the arm around him tightened in a hug. As long as he had his best friend, Itachi could say all the shit he wanted. It wouldn't mean a thing, even if it did hurt sometimes...
